Air pellet and BB guns
So I wanted something I could use on my property for target practice without having to worry about the cops showing up (it is illegal to discharge real firearms in my city limits unless at a gun range... even if you have the proper backstop).
I just recently got 2 pellet guns and am having some issues with them, so this is a technical question of sorts.
They use rotary magazines that are basically like revolver cylinders/pins. The problem is, more often than not, the guns either aren't turning the cylinders at all, or aren't aligning them with the barrel.
The first gun I got was a Daisy Powerline 622X I thought perhaps I just had a defective gun, so I sent it to them for repair... Then I got a Gamo PT-80, and started experiencing the same type of problem.
They are both CO2 powered guns.
Considering I am using all of the proper procedures, and these guns are brand new, I am wondering if the rotary magazine style simply isn't reliable. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this problem?

Hi and welcome to the forum.
With that said, posts on air guns get some answers here, but would be better served on forums dedicated to air guns.
Not telling you to "go away", but don't want you to feel slighted if you don't get much in the way of responses. Heck some of us know a fair amount about firearms but very little about air guns ...

Here's another link you may want to try: www.airguns.net/
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!0 -
Do you know of any forums dedicated to air guns? The only forums I can seem to find (through a search on google) are geared towards paintball or airsoft... not pellet/BB guns. 0 -
Give this one a try.

Hello:
www.straightshooters.com has the forum you are looking for. Some of the best trouble shooters including former Beeman repair people often reply at this site. Not to rain on your parade, but I think you'll find like most cities, and towns, there is probably an ordinance that prohibits the discharge of air rifles, and BB guns inside city limits. Just food for thought. (One exception is for pest control, but you'll need to apply and receive a permit).0 -
Actually I called the sheriff's office downtown and they said there are not any laws against using air guns since they aren't considered real firearms; provided your projectiles aren't flying into people's backyards or posing any sort of risk to the public.
Thanks for the links.0
